Öhlins TTX GP Shock Absorber Suzuki GSX-R 1000 / R (17-23) – SU 468

Built to the same exacting standards as Öhlins factory race units, the TTX GP shock absorber SU 468 is a purpose-engineered rear suspension upgrade for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 and GSX-R 1000R (2017–2023). Every component — from the twin-tube gas-pressure damping body to the fixed external piggyback reservoir — reflects Öhlins' obsessive approach to material quality and precision manufacture, delivering a measurable step forward in rear-end stability and rider confidence on both road and track.

Key Features

• Twin-tube gas-pressure damper with fixed external piggyback reservoir for consistent, fade-free damping throughout extended sessions
• 36 mm piston diameter engineered for outstanding durability and superior hydraulic control across the full range of damping adjustment
• Fully adjustable rebound and compression damping allows precise tuning to rider weight, tyre choice and circuit or road conditions
• Integrated hydraulic spring preload adjuster for quick, tool-free ride-height and sag setup without disturbing damping settings
• Direct OEM-geometry fitment to the GSX-R 1000 / R chassis — no modifications required for installation
• Supplied with a fitting instruction; installation by an authorised Öhlins Service Centre is recommended for optimal results

Premium Construction

The TTX GP platform uses Öhlins' renowned twin-tube technology, separating the compression and rebound circuits for a level of tuneability that a conventional monotube unit simply cannot match. The fixed piggyback reservoir maintains a consistent oil temperature and pressure environment, eliminating cavitation-induced fade even under sustained hard braking and high-speed cornering. The 36 mm piston is machined to tight tolerances from high-grade materials, ensuring seal longevity and consistent damping force whether the shock is cold on a morning commute or heat-soaked after twenty laps.

Road and Track Performance

On the road, the TTX GP transforms the GSX-R 1000's rear suspension response — absorbing surface imperfections more efficiently while maintaining a planted, composed stance under hard acceleration. On track, the depth of adjustment available through independent rebound and compression control, combined with the hydraulic preload adjuster, means a professional technician or experienced rider can dial in precise geometry changes between sessions without compromise. This is the shock absorber that bridges the gap between factory Superbike specification and what you can bolt onto your own machine.

Fitment & Compatibility

The Öhlins SU 468 is a direct-fit rear shock absorber developed and approved specifically for the following models:

• Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2017–2023) — with ABE type approval (Germany)
